This Lemon8 Box included some cute cards and the prized possession - a bottle of the PHYLA Acne-Fighting Probiotic Serum!
This is a full size 60-Day Supply that contains live probiotics, clearing skin without damaging your microbiome or your skin from harsh chemicals found in other products.
I use women’s probiotics and love how they work effectively, so I was excited to try out probiotics in a serum!
The bottle is an easy Twist & Pump which keeps the product properly sealed.
Glad I read the instructions because it says to *refrigerate upon receiving* to preserve the potency of their acne-fighting phages!!!!🚨
I washed my face and pumped some on my hand, the serum was odorless and lightweight. It absorbed seamlessly into my skin and left a mild shine!
This is something I would incorporate before sleeping since (another instructions alert🚨 ) the bottle recommends not to pair with silicones or hyaluronic acid!
Consistency is key so I can update in the comments how it goes especially since I have a bit of active acne right now!
While the $70 price tag may seem on the higher end for a bottle, the website offers a 3-step bundle as well as subscribe & save option! If this is something you’ve been actively concerned about or have tried different products that haven’t worked for you, it would be worth it to check out this organic serum!
... Read moreAfter finally getting my hands on the PHYLA Acne-Fighting Probiotic Serum from my Lemon8 box, I've spent some more time thinking about why a probiotic serum is such a game-changer, especially for skin like mine that's prone to breakouts. You know how gut health is big for overall wellness? Well, our skin has its own microbiome, a delicate balance of bacteria that keeps it healthy. When that balance gets thrown off, issues like acne, redness, and sensitivity can pop up. That’s where a good probiotic serum comes in!
What I find so fascinating about the PHYLA serum, and what makes it feel so tailored to my skin, is that it contains live probiotics. Unlike some products that just have prebiotics or postbiotics, this serum is designed to introduce beneficial bacteria directly to your skin, helping to rebalance your skin's natural defenses. For someone constantly battling active acne, this approach feels much more gentle and holistic than harsh chemical treatments that can strip the skin and make things worse in the long run. I've often felt like my skin was just 'tolerating' products, but with PHYLA, it feels like I'm truly nourishing it.
One thing I quickly learned, and it's a crucial tip for anyone trying these kinds of products, is the refrigeration instruction. Seeing that alert to refrigerate upon receiving to 'preserve the potency of their acne-fighting phages' really stuck with me. It’s a clear sign that this isn't just another serum; it’s a living product that needs proper care to deliver its full power. The 'Easy Twist & Pump' dispenser is also super helpful for keeping it sealed and fresh, which I appreciate for a product that needs to stay potent.
Integrating it into my routine has been pretty straightforward, though I pay close attention to the ingredient warnings. Since it recommends not pairing with silicones or hyaluronic acid, I've adjusted my evening routine to make sure it's the first step after cleansing. This ensures it has a clean slate to absorb seamlessly, which it does – leaving just a mild, healthy shine as I mentioned earlier. I then wait a few minutes, as indicated by some of the product info (like 'LET PHORTIFY SERUM ABSORB FOR 3 MINUTES'), before applying any other compatible products.
For those of us looking for solutions for 'tailored skin' – meaning skin with specific, persistent needs – a product like PHYLA offers a unique perspective. It’s not just about treating symptoms; it’s about building a stronger, more resilient skin barrier from the inside out. Knowing it’s a '60 Day Supply' also gives me a good timeframe to really see consistent results. While the initial investment might seem like a lot, especially with the $70 price tag, the option to 'SUBSCRIBE & SAVE' for '15% OFF WITH SUBSCRIBE & SAVE' definitely makes it more appealing for long-term use. If you've been on the fence about a probiotic serum for your acne-prone or sensitive skin, I truly believe understanding how these live ingredients work can make all the difference. It's about finding what truly works for your skin, not against it.
